This year's "The Night After the Indy Mile" featuring The Bultaco Astro Cup Presented by Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, IN was a huge success by all measures.
The 2014 event saw 210 entries with 155 unique riders, which is a new record, beating the previous record of 120 riders. Not bad for "just a local track".
A highlight from the night was watching Mick Kirkness ride a Speedway bike like he's never ridden anything else. It was definitely fun to watch! The various vintage classes from the AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series are never boring, as you got to see some very cool old bikes doing what they do best; go fast.
The Bultaco Astro Cup race was definitely the main show. The field was packed with several former stars of the GNC series and it was sure to be a great race. It was thrilling to watch "The Kid" Charlie Gerencer run away with the win, with his father in tow.
The Open - Pro race saw a new winner this year as GNC #1 Brad Baker lead flag to flag. Jarod Vanderkooi, who won the previous night's GNC Singles event at the Indy Mile kept him honest the entire race. Chad Cose, Mick Kirkness and local fast guy Brandon Wilhelm rounded out the top 5.
Every year this event gets better! This year there were more riders, more spectators and more concession options. Tell your friends about it and don't miss next season's event as it will surely best this year's event by a country mile!
